The Italian football team "Roma" was awarded a technical defeat with a score of 0:3 in the first-round Champions League match against Kyiv's "Dynamo". \n \nThis decision was made on Tuesday by the UEFA Disciplinary Committee, which convened over the incident that occurred last Wednesday during the "Roma" – "Dynamo" (Kyiv) game. \n \nIn addition, the stadium in Rome where the game took place was also punished. According to the verdict of the UEFA Disciplinary Committee, two of "Roma's" Champions League matches at the "Olimpico Stadium" will be held without spectators. \n \nRecall that the head referee of the "Roma" – "Dynamo" game, Swede Anders Frisk, was injured. The injury was inflicted by one of the Roman club's fans, who cut his forehead by throwing a coin or a lighter from the stands during the break. \n \nAs was later reported, the head referee decided not to continue the match because safety measures were not being observed at the stadium. \n\nHe was also supported by the assistant referees and the fourth official. The first half of this game ended with a score of 0:1 in favor of "Dynamo". The goal in the 29th minute was scored by Gavrančić. \n \nLet us also add that the episode with the referee's injury occurred after the sending-off of Mexès, who struck the leg of Dynamo player Verpakovskis after the whistle at the end of the first half. \n \nWhen making the decision to award "Roma" a technical defeat, the members of the disciplinary committee were guided by Article 7.02 of the UEFA regulatory provisions, which states: "If, through the fault of a club, a match cannot take place or cannot be played in full, the Control and Disciplinary Committee may declare the match as not having taken place or disqualify the club responsible for the match not taking place. \n \nTherefore, after the first-round matches of the Champions League, Kyiv's "Dynamo" and Germany's "Bayer" top the Group B standings with three points. \n \n
